Free RegistrationMy inspiration is my grandmother Andrea. Watching her age gracefully through daily movement showed me the power of caring for the body over a lifetime. Combined with my background as a gymnast and my passion for wellness, it inspired me to share Pilates so women in NYC can age with the same strength and grace.
How do you stay motivated?I'm motivated by transformation. Pilates has shaped me into a stronger businesswoman, student, and teacher. Seeing a student stand taller, reach higher, and move with confidence is why I show up every day.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the funding to acquire a vehicle to bring customized Pilates experiences directly to women across New York State. This would expand access to wellness, grow revenue, and make high-quality Pilates more portable and accessible.
